Teach Me

Teach me how to kissThe kiss that would change my worldSeep through all of meThe kiss that wouldMake my soul wander a bitMake my heart lose itself a bitThen bring me together againAs is I was wholeFrom the start.

Teach me how to holdThe hand that would save meThe arms that would catch meEven when I drew them away

Teach me how to sleepWith no worries of tomorrowWith no sadness of yesterdayAnd no uncertainties of the present

Teach me to dream as ifThe universe is mineWhen I have you closeI could conquer time,And solitude… and hurt…When together we shine.

Teach me how to open my eyesTo see and not just lookTo you as an open bookTo see the eyes that encourages meTo be the one I’ve dreamt to be

Teach me to have faithTo believe in things I don’t seeTo trust in precious treasuresLike the waters that never leave the seaLike the wind that keeps the earth companyEspecially with things that lastLike hearts as youAnd hearts as meHearts as fast.

When all of these are doneI will be the only oneWho’s been taught too muchOf holding on,Of dreaming,Of believing,And of loving..Then maybe you canTeach me how to dieTo die with no regretsTo die knowing that with you,I have loved the best.
